A Canadian woman who was jailed for the rapes and murders of three teen girls, including her sister – in the 1990s has been spotted volunteering at her children’s elementary school.
Serial killer Karla Homolka struck a conroversial plea deal in 1993 which reduced her murder charges to double manslaughter conviction and reduced sentencing.
She eventually served 12 years in prison after being convicted of raping, torturing and killing schoolgirls Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy with her then-husband Paul Bernardo.
She also played a role in the death of her 15-year-old sister Tammy after she helped Bernardo drug, rape and ultimately kill her.
Homolka, who split from Bernardo while in jail, was released in 2005 and married her lawyer’s brother Thierry Bordelais.

She had claimed that Bernardo had abused her and forced her to murder the teenage victims. However, video footage of the crimes that surfaced later showed Homolka as a willing participant in the rape and killing of the teen girls.

She was pictured outside Greaves Adventist Academy by the Montreal Gazette this week – much to the outrage of concerned parents.
The convicted killer recently helped supervise a group of kindergarten students during a field trip, and on another occasion was invited into a classroom to show the children how to knit, City News reports.
Homolka also brought in a dog for a show-and-tell class and has been seen dropping and picking her children up from the school.
‘We don’t want her here,’ one parent said.
‘How would you feel knowing that your child is interacting with a person who is a serial killer? It’s not right.’

Homolka struck a controversial plea deal in the 1990s in which she pleaded guilty to manslaughter to have her sentence reduced to 12 years
A Seventh-day Adventist Church spokesman said the school board was fully aware of Homolka’s history.
‘She is not a regular volunteer and can never be alone with any children, either in school or churches,’ the spokesman said.
‘It is protocol for all of our schools across Canada, and most of the world, to do background checks, not only on teachers, but volunteers as well as clergy.
‘As I said, she is not a regular volunteer. Rarely would she have cause to go into the school, and when she is, she is never alone.’
Homolka lived in Quebec immediately after she was released from jail, before moving to the Caribbean with her children to avoid media scrutiny.

She had claimed that Bernardo had abused her and forced her to murder the teenage victims. Her claim was contradicted by later video evidencee of the crimes that showed her to be a more willing participant.
She was ultimately convicted of manslaughter for her role in the murders of French and Mahaffey. She wasn’t charged in the death of her sister but her sentence took the incident into account.
The murder trials of both Homolka and her then-husband Bernardo were high-profile cases in the early 1990s.
In 2016 it was reported that residents of the Montreal suburb were on edge after learning convicted killer Karla Homolka had been living in their community for almost two years, and the lawyer representing the families of her victims says the news is “disturbing.”
“It’s upsetting,” said Tim Danson, lawyer for the families of Bernardo’s murder victims — 14-year-old Leslie Mahaffy and 15-year-old Kristen French. “Whenever the names Karla Homolka and Paul Bernardo are appearing in the media, it’s upsetting for my clients.
“They’d be happier just to go the rest of their life without ever hearing their names again.”
